Hello to everyone here. You all have good questions and I will try to answer them.
1. You don’t have to start this way, but its the easiest way to do it so… rule 1 remember that green has to be on top. 2.the side panel (on the right) will be the color your working with, and I figured out a better result, (the panel on the left) I fount that if you do the opposite you get the cross like pattern ex. look at the top diagram on the left, instead of having the green showing with the respective color underneath have the respective color showing with green underneath so your cubes starting position should be green on top, respective color right panel, respective color with green underneath. NOW turn the cube as instructed and look closely. You will have it guaranteed. It will look like the last diagram on the left ex. green, random color, random color, respective color, matching square with green underneath. Now turn the font panel 180 degrees until the green underneath is connected with the green on top. You’ll have the first part of that after picture now repeat all of this for orange white and yellow. I hoped this helped you guys out. My name is Paul – leave a note for me if this helped. I would love to help again. Thank you.

To Everyone:
What happened to me when I did this step was that I got confused that they were giving us several starter steps; there are three lines in this step. If your cube looks like the first line, ONLY DO the first line of instructions, and so on for the other two. This step should work very easily, and if it doesn’t, use that thing inside your head (the name beats me at this current time…) to work out just this one step, because it is REALLY easy…

This is awesome! I get it now, the Before on the left is the pattern you start with and then you follow the steps to the right to get a piece of the cross. Then continue on the other three sides to the left or right of the right side on the diagrahm. I used the first one twice then the second one once and the third one once.

When I start following given steps, does my cube need to be exactly look like how its displayed in upper left corner of the image with “Before” tag? Or just having a green in center of top side is enough?

You know you are starting with a very specific scenario in which all the things are in a fixed position. I can complete one side of the cube, i.e. one color at a time but no more than dat. Any advice for me, if you would please…..

Start with the first green and red with the first picture. At the end you should only have the green and red touching each other with two squares each. Then rotate the cube and do the yellow just like you did the red. they should have two boxes touching just the same. Now the orange, and finally the white. I notice though that three pictures on the left are what some of the colors will be in… for example, my orange started as the second and my white was like the third. In the end though if you can’t seem to get it… try buying a coloring book. ;P

What does repeating this step for all four sides mean? Do I keep Green on top and rotate the whole cube around the Green-Blue axis (Green on top and Blue on ther bottom, and bring the next side (Yellow) to where the Red was and Orange to where the Yellow was and keep repeating this for all sides? What should it look like after the first of 4 sides or are there too many combinations?

This step, along with the next step, are the most difficult to teach because there are so many possible starting situations. Luckily, after these steps it takes very little effort to solve the rest of the cube, so please be patient on steps one and two.

In this step, it is important to remember that the very center piece of each side of the cube doesn’t move, making it that side’s respective color. You must bring all of the other pieces with that color to that side. In the example below we bring the red/green piece to match with the red and green sides.

Below are the most common moves for this step. If your cube doesn’t match any of the three starting positions shown below you may need to move some pieces around to get there. You must do this on four sides in order to make a cross like the “after” picture below. So in the example below, I would first get the red/green block in the correct spot (as shown in the “after” picture) then do the yellow piece, then blue, then white.

I have 2 Ts done and the other 2 are just missing one spot. The top is green but not in 1 spot and that final green one is not on the bottom row, but on the top one DIRECTLY under the spot it needs to go. so none of the 3 options given apply.. is there anyway to get the green on the bottom or would that just mess everything up?

I can’t seem to be able to get the first step correct. I’ve tried starting the cube according to each option above, but when I finish not all the cross is completed. If anyone here has completed step one, please help me out!!! It’s at times like this i wish i were einstein…..

Yeah i have a problem, but i’m pretty close to the final result of this step. At the top my cube is missing all but one pice. On the sides, i’ve completeted 3 out of the 4 T’s. The last T i have to make is only 1 cube from being complete. However,there are no red cubes on the bottom row, so i’m kind of stuck.

step 2, has 3 scenarios presented. Take for example the first of the three rows, try to get your piece(green) to the position in the bottom layer as depicted in the diagram, then do the 4 moves in row 1 as shown.

similarly, get your piece(green) to the position in the bottom layer as depicted by diagram in row 2, then perform the 4 moves in row 2 as shown.

Again, this step is a little harder to teach than the steps to follow because of the amount of possible starting situations, but the pictures below should help you through it.

Find a corner piece on the bottom layer that belongs on the top. In our example pictures this is any corner piece with green in it. Move this piece until it is situated on the bottom layer directly below its appropriate place in the top layer of the cube. In other words, the spot where the piece should start out should be in the same column as the spot where you want the piece to end up. Then, refer to the pictures below to solve. Make sure you are looking at the correct starting picture. Do this step to all four corner pieces.

I encountered problems at first as well because I wasn’t sure if the color of the tile at the bottom of “T” (top surface of the cube in the picture) mattered. Then I studied the pictures again and realized that not only must the “T” be created, but the color of the tile at the bottom of the “T” (on the top surface, surrounded by “white” tiles in the picture) must correspond with the color of the bottom line to the left (or right, depending on what works with your particular combination) of your “T”. Once that was cleared up in my mind, the moves went very smoothly.

What exactly does it mean to “do one of the moves below in reverse”? Do you start with the last step and do each step backwards? Do you start with the last step and do each step as shown? Do you start with the first step and do each step backwards?

For those having trouble: If your cube looks like the top cube, then ONLY follow the first two lines of moves. If it looks like the bottom cube then ONLY do the last two lines of moves. This made it work for me, as I was trying to use all four lines of moves.

I get going pretty well, with white on the bottom and yellow on the top, however I get to a point in this step when all the edges on the side are yellow, and I don’t know how to fix it. help would be appreciated.

Let’s say my upper color is blue, and every middle cube at the top has blue, either on the side or at the top. That will mean there are not useful to perform the step. What shall I do? It says do a step in the reberse order. I just don’t get it. Thanks

For this step, if anyone is having problems with it…. I had to try it a few times to get it. Look at the “before” picture and get colors that correspond with the way it’s set up. Choose the picture that matches your scenario and follow the steps. You should get the bottom two layers filled on one side. Once you get that, turn the whole cube around 90 degrees, MAKE SURE IT CORRESPONDS with the “before” picture again, then follow the steps again that correspond with the situation you have on your cube. That might be the biggest mistake people were making. Hope this helps.

I’m having trouble with this step. I was able to figure out the first two, but this third one really messed me up. It’s rotate top counter clock wise, rotate left up, rotate top clock wise, rotate left down, rotate top counter clock wise, rotate front clock wise, rotate top counter clock wise, rotate front counter clock? All of these rotations are only done once?

I have been cubing for almost two years now. This algorithm works. Maybe looking at standard notation may help, The top algorithm is: U’ F’ U F U R U’ R’, and the bottom algotrithm is: U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F.
Also make certain that the edge you are trying to move to the middle layer is in the proper location as shown in the images on the left.

OK, here is my problem. You know how you are suppose to have the color that you want in a specific place at the top in order for you to have all matching colors in the middle, well in my case I have all of the colors except one blue. Now the blue is on top of the all the other blues like an upside down T, how do I get the blue on the top face(U) without messing anything else up??????

Before you start this step, flip the cube over so the face that is complete is now the bottom. In the pictures, this is the green side. Now, turn the top layer of the cube to match either of the “before” pictures below. This will make an upside down “T” with one color. We will move that top middle piece to the correct spot on the middle row in this step (as shown in the “after” picture). There are two ways to do this depending on which side the “T” is on when you’re looking at the cube. Make sure to find the correct starting picture before doing this step. Repeat this step with all four sides. (HINT: If you ever get stuck where there aren’t any useful pieces on the top layer then do one of the moves below in reverse.)

I can readily get 3 stations of the cross together (call it top and sides), but the last one will never fall into place. I’ve tried this with several different colors, but the same seems to happen every time. The first two layers all fit together fine, I just cant seem to get past this step…

I had the same problem. It worked for the first two, but not for the second two. Then, as suggested by Barney, I believe, I kept doing it some more. After like 4 or 5 times, they both went at once. Weird.

I tried to move on to step 5 and thought maybe the cross would assemble itself, and I got all of the blue squares except the one that would make a cross. I have also tried repeating this step multiple times and it hasn’t worked. I have no idea what to do next…

These steps are not working they kept on switching like three blue with orange,white,red on top and one blue with yellow with yellow on top and after using these steps it becomes three blue with orange,red,yellow and one blue with white with white on top

In this step, the goal is to get the top face of the cube to have a cross. In the “after” picture below this is the blue side. You start out by facing a side of the cube that has a blue piece (or whatever your top color is) in the top layer in the front left position (refer to the “before” picture below). It‘s okay to have a blue piece in the front right position as well, but the key is to make sure that there is a blue piece on that front left side. You then follow the moves in the pictures below. Just doing this step once most likely won’t be enough. You may have to repeat the step a few times until there is a cross. You will also likely have to rotate the cube in your hands to manipulate different sides (still make sure a blue piece is in the front left position!).

I did have some problems with this step but then realized what I could do to fix it. To anyone reading this note, if you repeat step 5 two times, you should have two of the top middle pieces in place. The other two sides should be back to front. TO COMPLETE WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT: Twist the top row ONCE to the left, and repeat the step. This should complete this step. And yes, random guy possibly below me, I have also completed the cube on this one step. See ya!

The key is to rotate the top alot. You may find yourself stuck on this step, but if-like said before- you twist the top, it may work better. your picture doesn’t need to look like that *before* for the step to work

I had trouble with this step too.
It’s easier when you know what happens:
after doing this move once, the front left cube stays in place, while the other three rotate places in an anticlockwise fashion.
So front right moves to back right, back right moves to back left, and back left moves to front right.

I had a bit of trouble with this step too, until I realized I was skipping an important part: when NONE of the sides match, turn the top until one does. It’s legal; you won’t mess anything up. Also, the move for this step merely swaps three of the corner pieces in a counter-clockwise fashion, namely the front-right to the back-right to the back-left and to the front-right again. Orienting the pieces properly will fix it easily.

Once you have the cross at the top, the next step is to get all of the top middle pieces to be on the correct sides. This step, like the previous step, will most likely need to be repeated several times. A useful tip is that, when you have two adjacent sides in the correct place, rotate the cube in your hands so that those two sides are in the back right and front right positions, then repeat this move once more. After doing this, the top pieces will all be in the correct order but will need to be rotated around the cube until they are on their correct sides. (HINT: when performing this step, keep in mind that the front left piece will not move.)

Rotating the Top, Corner Pieces

In this step, you will move the top corners so that they are in the correct places. Don’t worry if the colors of the corner pieces don’t match with their correct sides yet, we’re just making sure that the corner pieces are in the correct spot on the cube. For example, in the “after” picture below, the front corner piece should have one red side, one blue side, and one yellow side, even if those colors aren’t with the correct face yet. We will rotate them so the colors all match the correct sides up in the next step.

The trick to this step is that the piece farthest from you doesn’t move. The front three corners switch spots in a clockwise rotation as shown in the “after” picture below. You will most likely need to repeat this step several times.

I have learned that on this step, the corners will always rotate counter-clockwise if they are on the left, and clockwise if they are on the right. This means that if you rotate the entire cube, the corners will rotate in different directions.

You have now made it to the seventh and final step – rotating the corner pieces so that they are on the correct sides of the cube. This move only rotates the front and right corners. This move will most likely need to be repeated several times and you may have to rotate the cube in your hands before repeating it.
